The Norwegian artist Bente Stokke’s choice of material is ash from a combustion plant. He wrote: “my motive for working / lies in the uncovering / of a space / which reveals itself / in shifts and layers of reality.” Stokke’s installations emerged from a found space and the idea that history is concealed in it. At Storefront, Stokke’s approach resulted in The Ship, a dramatic reappraisal of the gallery’s iconic wedge form. Successive layers of ash are applied to the gallery’s walls at its tapering west end, evoking the interior space of a ship’s bow. The whole piece references the ancient forms of Scandinavian wooden shipbuilding and the craft involved.
